Meanwhile, Trump has already decided he does not give a shit what the court says, unless they rule in his favor. Either way the tariffs will continue until morale improves.

I’m sure our humble, moral, and transparent president will follow this court order if it doesn’t go in his favor.
thieh on
I wonder whether the decision will have any effect as the administration has a solid track record of ignoring the court orders.

I say let it rip lol. People who still admire him will have to stop looking at their phones and start looking at their store shelves to see what is wrong
arilupe on
Wait..Trump follows court orders? That dude has gotten away for shit so long it’s ridiculous. Now that he has this kind of power you think now is the time courts can stop it?
So federal courts cannot issue injunctions like this. Even if Trump „ignores it,“ it’s still important to keep doing what is right. Even if they aggravate us, we MUST defend our institutions.

I know that POTUS having tariff powers is unconstitutional but Trump screwing with people’s wallets is what we need.

If the „major question“ doctrine really means anything the tariffs have to go.
43zaphod on
I don’t think Trump has ever provided a single shred of evidence that there is some sort of national emergency, threat to national security, payment problems, etc. to get tariffs in place. The only legal reason available is for trade imbalance. Congress made a mistake when it gave this power to the President, and Congress should repeal that part of the law. At least with Congress you are represented in regard to imposing tariffs, which are a form of taxation.
Good lord if he could only have the patience to do things by the book he might actually be able to get what he wants done
firethorne on
Here’s my prediction: It will. He’ll ignore the court. And there will be no consequences.
williamgman on
It’s only a District Court. Sure… up until recent history the District Court had some power… But they are now only hall monitors offering „suggested rulings“. Trump will appeal while ignoring the ruling. Even when SCOTUS possibly rules against him for something… They will have to deputize a non Executive Branch arm of the govt to enforce it. DOJ had made it clear they are the German SA now.
Admirable-Leopard272 on
I actually hope they dont. There has never been a more obviously incompetent policy…and they should be exposed for it

Does it matter what the court say? Trump as shown already he will just ignore than and nothing will happen
Stillwater215 on
So buy calls?
AdHopeful3801 on
Hopefully not.
For all that the trade war is stupid and destructive, Congress explicitly delegated this power to the President. Congress needs to grow some balls and take that power back., not continue to hide behind hoping the judiciary will solve their problems for them.
Especially these days, where the judiciary is stacked with loons.
Way2trivial on
There are multiple lawsuits re; legality of the liberation day tariffs
Considering that Trump just decided to put tariffs on foreign movies by claiming „national security“, I think there’s plenty of evidence for the courts to say that his use of them is entirely unreasonable and not motivated by any kind of rational basis related to the law.

This is good for all the Americans who are about to suffer from this stupidity, but it’s also the best offranp Trump could ever ask for. He can say the woke courts „overstepped“ and it was going to be beautiful, but he doesn’t cave, the courts will do the dirty work for him.
No offense people, but people going „Trump will just ignore the courts“, I have to ask, do you think he is personally out there collecting tariffs?
SizzleMoon on
omg please just do it
blackmobius on
I have doubts that the court will do anything and doubts that he will obey the rulings. If they arent already invalidating everything hes doing because hes ruling unchecked via EO, then what will they say hes doing wrong? Hes already openly ignoring the constitution; nobody in power cares. And as proof of the point, when he decides hes going to ignore rulings he doesnt like, what recourse can the SCOTUS do? All the law enforcement and military answer to trump.
